Creamy Cottage Cheese Cake

This is a delicious cake; light and creamy and the perfect dessert to end a dinner.

For best results use creamy cottage cheese, the type that you would buy fir baking. I like to make my own cottage cheese whenever I can. It's easier than you think. If you want to give it a try just click the link; Making Cottage Cheese
